Influx of Luxury Brands Invest in Baja’s Pacific Side

Over the next three years 1,500 new hotel keys will come online on the Pacific
side of Baja, an area largely undeveloped until recently. To better understand
what makes this hidden gem the latest and greatest in luxury travel, Chief
Development Officer for Pueblo Bonito Jose Luis Mogollon explains how the
Pacific coast came to be on many five-star resorts’ radars—and why it should be
on yours too.

What draws visitors to the Pacific side of Baja?

Quivira—the pioneer in Pacific side development—sits at the actual tip
of Baja, where the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean meet and it was largely
undiscovered due to the rugged terrain surrounding the oceanfront land, which
makes it extremely private. The Pacific side offers a
mountain-desert-ocean realm unique to itself and although secluded, it’s still
within close proximity to downtown Cabo San Lucas. Quivira, for example, is a mere
mile away from all the restaurants, shopping, fishing, nightlife and numerous
recreational activities that make Cabo a world-class entertainment destination.
Also, the Pacific side of Baja has a much milder climate that the rest of the
peninsula and can be a welcome relief to travelers in the hot summer
months.

How does the Pacific coast differ from the Golden
Corridor?

The Pacific coast is phenomenal. For
extraordinary ocean views at true Land’s End, no other resort or community in
Cabo has what Quivira has. Major highways are far away from our coastal haven
and as a result, the communities offer a peace and quiet that can’t be found
anywhere else in Cabo.

The destination also recently built a toll road that provides
easier access than ever from San Jose International Airport, more so than most
hotels in the corridor. The lure of unique culture, serenity and pristine
beaches in the nearby towns of Todos Santos and the adjacent hamlets of
Pescadero and Cerritos has also played a part in the development of the region.
The towns can be found about 45 minutes north of Cabo San Lucas and the area
has long been a haven for travelers, surfers, artists, and bohemians seeking
tranquility away from the hustle of Cabo.
